Chapter 176 Ethan and Jasmine's Tacit Understanding

"Jasmine, I want to bring two people over when I take the position of vice president. It's tough to get work done without capable assistants," Branson said with a smile.

"That's an easy fix. Just tell me who they are, and I'll discuss it with Mr. Ethan," Jasmine responded.

Branson spoke with a cunning smile, his hand playfully tousling Jasmine's hair as he mentioned the two individuals, "Chen Xiaorou from the hotel division and Zheng Yuan from project management. They both show promise and are deserving of promotions," he explained. "And of course, once I secure my position as vice president, if you ever wish to work directly with me, I can discuss it with Mr. Ethan."

Jasmine nodded, smiling. "These are trivial matters; wait for my good news."

Clasping her hands tightly, Jasmine turned away, her smile freezing on her face.

She had anticipated the old fox bringing up those names: Chen Xiaorou from the hotel division and Zheng Yuan from project management. One was Branson's current mistress, and the other was a trusted confidant of Clara and Daniel.

Branson's loyalty to Clara and Daniel was, indeed, "unwavering." It looked like Clara held something over Branson's head.

No wonder Ethan had suggested that Branson needed to go. His situation was completely different from that of the HR Manager, Daria.

Distractedly walking to the office, Jasmine didn't notice someone was standing in her path. He purposefully positioned himself in front of Jasmine, waiting for her to accidentally bump into him.

"What's on your mind?" Ethan whispered.

Jasmine's ears perked up at the sound of his voice, surprised, she looked up at Ethan. "Mr. Ethan."

He was back.

"Yeah, got this for you." On his way back, Ethan had picked up a coconut fruit salad for Jasmine.

Jasmine stuttered, taking it with a trembling hand. "For... for me?"
